The particle size distribution of radioactive aerosols, which originated from the released radioactive materials from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, has been observed using the Andersen-type classifier combined with a high volume air sampler. Estimated activity median aerodynamic diameters (AMADs) of 131 I-, 134 Cs-and 137 Cs-aerosols were ranging from 0.56 to 0.60 lm, which were larger than that of 7 Be-aerosols existing as an aerosol including cosmogenic radionuclide, about 0.2 lm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
